Linnaeus' herbarium cabinet: a piece of furniture and its function.

Use of Wood Composite Panels as Substrate for Cabinet Manufacturing Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service

Wood based panels are composed of wood or other lignocellulosic material broken down into small elements and then reconstituted to form new products using different binders under pressure and heat. Production of wood composites such as particleboard and fiberboard has been constantly increasing in the U.S. for the last 25 years. Both panel products are extensively used as a raw material in the ...

Application of quality function deployment (QFD) to improve product design: The school furniture case

Today Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a powerful development method whit a wide range of applications to translate customers’ needs into technical requirements for achieving customer satisfaction. The current study demonstrated a QFD analysis to improve school furniture design in Tehran as the baseline of Iran. Accordingly, we extended the widely used QFD method into a complex set of custo...

Conventional Processing of Standard-Size Edge-Glued Blanks for Furniture and Cabinet Parts: a Feasibility Study

Furniture Model Creation Based on Direct Teaching to a Mobile Robot

In this paper, a modeling method to handle furniture is proposed. In real environment, there is a lot of furniture such as drawer, cabinet and so on. If mobile robots can handle these furniture autonomously, it is expected that multiple daily tasks, for example, storing a small object in a drawer, can be performed by the robots. However, it is a perplexing process to give several pieces of know...

Rigidity of Cabinet Furniture with Semi-rigid Joints of the Confirmat Type

The objective of the experiment was to construct a mathematical model of a semi-rigid angle joint of the confirmat type and a numerical model of cabinet furniture construction with semi-rigid screw joints of the confirmat type. It was shown that models of a semi-rigid constructional node of the confirmat type describe well work of a rigid connector in the neighbourhood of strongly deformable wo...
